Smiling

Thanks for all the comments on my previous post! I wore the New Look
top one day this past week and decided I absolutely must make another
one. Or two. I liked it that much! For all who commented that this
pattern is on your to-do list, I say go for it; you will love it. I'd
like to try a version out of a woven fabric, perhaps a cotton voile or
silky print. Of course, I'd have to add a slit or keyhole opening in
the back if I use a non-stretchy fabric.

Just because I can't seem to post without a picture, here's one of my
beautiful little girl and her cat, Molly. Emily is wearing a peasant
top that I originally made for her 2 years ago as a dress
for Easter. The dress has been hanging in the closet, too small for
Em. I still like the fabric, and so a few weeks ago I decided to turn
the dress into a tunic top. To make it fit, I simply took out the neck
elastic and inserted a longer piece. I chopped off 4 inches or so from
the bottom and sewed a new hem. And now Emily has a new summer top.
:)

Speaking of Easter dresses--Jessica, I sure hope you post soon about the beautiful dress you made Marie!

Oh, and just so you know, I did get my hair cut. It took the stylist
over an hour to thin and layer my hair. I only had three inches taken
off the length, but my head sure does feel lighter because of the
thinning.

Again, thank you for all the comments, suggestions, encouraging words....yes, you make me smile.
